ERP Scheduling Add-On for Machine Shops
ERP scheduling built for the reality of machine shops: every job has unique routings, setup times, and material requirements, sequence-dependent changeovers blow up theoretical schedules, and customer expedites force daily reschedules of the entire floor. Generic ERP scheduling ignores these constraints. We built ours around them — for 35+ years.
Why Machine shops Need ERP Scheduling Add-On That Understands Their Floor
Machine shops is not generic setup time. Every routing decision is shaped by every job has unique routings, setup times, and material requirements, every order is shaped by sequence-dependent changeovers blow up theoretical schedules, and every weekly plan gets disrupted by customer expedites force daily reschedules of the entire floor. Off-the-shelf ERP scheduling tools were built for a textbook model of manufacturing that does not survive contact with a real machine shops floor. Our erp scheduling add-on starts from the constraints — adds finite capacity scheduling to any erp system, modeled the way machine shops actually run them.
- Every job has unique routings, setup times, and material requirements
- Sequence-dependent changeovers blow up theoretical schedules
- Customer expedites force daily reschedules of the entire floor
- Skilled operators are the constraint, not the machines
- Alternate work centers are critical when primary machines are loaded
How Our ERP Scheduling Add-On Works for Machine Shops
ERP Scheduling Add-On is a finite-capacity-aware scheduling engine purpose-built for the messiness of real manufacturing. For machine shops — including high-mix precision machining shops — it handles every job has unique routings, setup times, and material requirements, sequence-dependent changeovers blow up theoretical schedules, and customer expedites force daily reschedules of the entire floor in a single Gantt-driven interface planners can actually use. Below is what that looks like in practice.
- Adds finite capacity scheduling to any ERP system
- Bi-directional sync with QuickBooks, Sage, Epicor, JobBOSS, Dynamics, E2
- No rip-and-replace — preserves existing ERP investment
- Single source of truth for work orders, routings, and capacity
